MITCH KL MEN CONTENT Collector Favored as Compro mise Between McAneny and Whitman. Tusloii politics reached the danger point yesterday. The Mirlous fusion leaders are nearer dlsiuptlon than at any time since the committee on candidates begnn looking ovr the Held. Dogday heat and arbitrary demands from leaders of antagonistic parties had the slatemakers at their wit's end. Tho executive committee had two ses sions with the sub-committee on candi dates nnd In addition listened to a half hour talk from John Purroy Mltchel, who went before them with the Intention, as he said, of clearing up mlsiippiehenslona about himself. When all was said and done it was cleat that Mr. Mltchel's stock had risen considerably during the day. The com mittee on candidates put him neck and neck wltn Ilorough President Mc.Xneny. with Mr. Whltmnn one vote behind C, 5 nnd 4. Alxiut the same propor tion was said to preall among tho twenty-three members of the executive committee. Paior Mllehel's dinner. The showing, wns so good that the Progressive lenders claimed a victory for Mr. Mltchel. They said that thus far the tight had gone In bis favor nnd that they were resting easily as to his chancea In the general committee. The movement toward Mr. Mltchel was an abrupt chnnge In the lineup. It was ascribed to a letter from John J. Hopper, who has curried, the Hearst Mag in con flicts of many sorts. According to the reHrt In circulation Inst night Mr. Hop per mailed a letter on Monday night to Joseph M. Price, chairman of the execu tive committee, threatening In the name of William It. Hearst to bolt the fusion ticket In the event of Mr. McAneny's nomination. It landed In the fusion ranks like a bomb. Hearst la PrOsnl, Mr. Hopper Is snld to have told the fuslonlsts that Hearst would not only re fuse to lend the Independence League to the fuslonlsts If Mr. McAneny were the candidate but that he would put a ticket In the field to rout the fuslonlsts. Mr. , Hopper said that be would be the cnndl- , date, or iMisslbly Mr. Hearst might run ngaln. In any event Hearst would have nothing to do wltn n McAneny ticket, and the fuslonlsts neither by hook nor crook could Induce Hopper to tnke a place on the ticket Behind It nil wns said to be an under standing between Francis W. Hlrd, chair man nf the Progressive county committee, nnd the Hearst people to run Mr. Mltchel as an Independent candidate. The fuslonlsts were faced with a di lemma In the case of Mr. Whitman be- cause they have felt that the Republican organization was only waiting for a good chance to run the District Attorney on a ticket or its own. IT they nominate him they have the promise that the Pro gressives will bolt the fusion ticket nnd If they don't the Rejiubllcans may put him In tho race. nenrh a Deadlock. No definite report came last night from the committee room, but to. all appear ances things were deadlocked. When ever members of the committee enme Into the general room at fuklon headquarters they showed every sign of rancor. The Progressive leaders thought of nutting un Supreme Court Justice Seabury as the last nope ror harmony. Tho committee wound up Its session at 12:30 this mnrnnlg to meet again this afternoon at 2 :30 o'clock. It wns clear that It was fur from a decision. It seemed probable that the tight will be carried Into the general committee to morrow evening, Tho executive committee. It Is under. stood, will pass on three tickets to tho general fusion committee at Its meet ing to-morrow night. The McAnenv men believe that with Hearst the ultlmnto dictator of the fusion slate enough Mc Aneny men would go over to Tammany to counteract any possible advantage ucnrsi coum give tne lusion ticket.

Is familiar with all of tho missing Jewels. He bought them In the first place on behnlf of Mr. and Mrs. Harrlman, and Is sufficiently expert in precious stones to be nble to Identify all the larger stones, he believes, even If they nre removed from their present set tings. 12(1 Pearls In Necklace. The necklnce Is mnde up of nbout 120 pearls. Sixty-live of these, approximately half of the string, were purchased from Tlielps & Perry of 3 Maiden lane to go with n slightly smaller string, now tho other half of the Ilumsey necklace, whjch wns owned by Mrs. Harrlman.

Tho Jewels, each In Its own satin case, wero kept In four pasteboard boxes In a drawer of Mrs Itumsey's dressing table. They wero in their place at S o'clock Satur day night, when Mrs. Humsey was dress ing for dinner. At the same hour Sunday night she opened the drawer and found only the small satin cases and two of the outside boxes : the Jewels were gone. The servants were not qui stloned then, nlthough the maids of necessity soon learned of the loss.

Mrs. Ilumsey slept In the room Sat urday night nnd her sleep wns not broken. Hecnusc of this she believes thnt the theft must have been committed after she lefl the room Sunday morning.

The servants, questioned after the news of tho rubbery hail spread through the house, said they had heard no sound and had seen nothing that would help In solving the problem of the robbery. Mis.
